In the process of preparing Chen Wenhui, Chen Yuanheng reported to the emperor that the Xiao Chen family was going to develop Nanyang. The emperor personally said at the court meeting that he hoped that the people of Dachu and the rich gentry would support the construction and development of Nanyang, which was a good thing to expand the territory, which was beneficial to himself and meritorious to the country. The land of Nanyang, the emperor promised, Da Chu will definitely protect it, but the land of Nanyang, whoever reclaims it, counts whom, within a hundred years, Da Chu will not pay taxes on these lands.

As soon as these words were said, the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and they were all in chaos, what does this mean, is it allowed to occupy the mountain as the king? Is it allowed to develop its own power? Think about it, if you build a city in Nanyang and it will be your own for a hundred years, what a good thing it is, even the princes of Dachu can't enjoy it.

At this moment, all the families and eunuchs couldn't sit still, plus the shops of the Hei family had been open in the capital for half a year, and those rare Nanyang specialties had deeply attracted them, and these people were all rushing to contact the Chen family. Now the doors of Xiao Chen's house are about to be broken. Even the people with the Da Chen family also became popular, and those who did not have a good relationship with Chen Yuanheng all wanted to go to the door of the Da Chen family.

Chen Yuanheng goes to the yamen every day to deal with all kinds of families who want to invest in Nanyang. In fact, Chen Yuanheng couldn't do business even in the yamen, because his colleagues in the yamen were also inquiring about Nanyang. Bai's is the same, these days, I can't cope with the posts of inviting her to dinner, drinking tea, and appreciating flowers, Bai's has no way, so I took advantage of one day to discuss with Chen Yuanheng, Chen Wenlin, and Chen Wenhui at home.

Bai Shi smiled and complained, "Oh, you guys are going to make a charter, right?" I'm going to be annoyed to death, I don't know how to develop it, those ladies have to inquire, and some of them are their own families to invest. Some of them are in-laws who want to invest, and some of them want to give us private money, what can we do? ”

Chen Yuanheng also smiled and said: "I have encountered all kinds of situations here. There are those who want to invest in themselves, and there are also help concubines. Even the outroom purchase industry, and the mysterious one, I really can't stand it. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed.

Chen Wenlin said: "We originally meant to let everyone develop Nanyang with us and do their own thing, but these people have to climb up to us because they don't know much about Nanyang." Our family wants money, money, and people. If you want technology, technology, and an escort team, and experience, where is the need to partner with others? But it's hard to refuse, what should I do? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "If we all refuse, then we will make too many enemies in Dachu in the future, and people will still think that we have to eat alone." That's not good. However, if you take them with you, they will either have money and no one, or they will have money. Someone, but inexperienced, no guards. Hey, anyway, if we bring it, we'll lose again. It's not like that, I've been thinking about that map of Luzon for the past few days, in fact, we can build four towns. One in our family, one in the black family, and one in me. And then these eunuchs in the capital are one. In this way, the four cities can be built together, and the land of Luzon can be developed more quickly. It's better to watch and help each other, and deal with those natives. As for those who want to invest in common cities. We also have to stipulate good conditions, if there are conditions, we can take them with us, and if there are no conditions, we can think of them ourselves, which can't blame us. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, what you say makes sense, what are the conditions?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If you don't have the strength, we don't play with it, we must have the capital of 100,000 taels of silver, and we must have the corresponding manpower." For example, for every hundred thousand taels of silver, a thousand men were to be organized to follow, and among these people there were men who were stewards and farmers and a hundred guards. If there is no escort, you can also ask the Black Iron Army of the Black Family to escort you, which will have to be paid. You can go and talk to the black family about this. If a family has 300,000 taels of silver, then it will be followed by 3,000 men, and 300 guards. And so on. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said: "This is true, you can't let the silver work by yourself, you still have to have manpower, and this time you will throw off those small families who have no strength." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "How is it possible to just think about making money without strength? Just thinking that the land in Nanyang is cheap, one or two pieces of silver can buy two acres of land, but why don't you want to think about it, these two acres of land also need to be planted? Does the silver farm itself? Also, these long-term workers and short-term workers need to be managed? Someone needs to cook for you, you have to ask a doctor to see a doctor when you're sick, you have to have someone to fix the sewing, and there's a guard to protect this manor? What if the natives and the beasts came? Not to mention these, those who take 35,000 taels of silver and think that they can buy thousands of acres of land, I really don't understand, just because they have money to buy land, will the land grow crops on its own? Don't buy seeds? Don't buy farm tools? There is no harvest in the first year, don't give these people food and drink, don't build houses for the peasants to live in? Hey, really stupid or fake stupid? ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled, and Bai said with a smile: "You little monkey, you have so many words, are you still the daughter of a big family?" Can you say such a mean thing? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "I don't feel mean, I think what my sister said is very right, and these people don't want to think clearly." We are going to Nanyang to open up wasteland, can it be solved with such a small amount of money? If the strength is not good, we will not bring it, this is very simple. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Those who are strong have the benefits of strong strength, and they will contribute money and people to build a large estate." If the strength is poor, if you really want to go, you can also, we also have a way for them, so that they can just contribute people, they can go there to be hired laborers, they can also go there to do business, there are all kinds of waste to be rebuilt, and it is the time of great development, it is the time to make contributions. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, Hui'er, this is very true, we will settle it like this, and divide it into two kinds, one is strong, with 100,000 taels as the www.biquge.info of the pen fun pavilion." One is weak, you can follow our fleet to Nanyang to do business, follow us to be a housekeeper or go to work, so that even the poor people can go. ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Yes, we need people more than money to build Nanyang, all kinds of people, stonemasons, carpenters, farming people, merchants, women who cook, wash, sew, and of course, there are too many doctors, scholars, and housekeepers. I hope all aspiring people will come. ”

"It's helping us and giving them a chance," Chen said. There is not so much land, not so many official positions, and not so many opportunities in Dachu, so in Nanyang, it is also to give them a chance that Dachu does not have. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, then it's decided." Actually, not only my friends and colleagues, but also your grandfathers and uncles urged me to participate in it. By the way, are you all ready? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I am very well prepared here, and the silver has already been sent to Nanyang through Guò Bank one after another." In addition, the Tongguò Ma family bought a lot of prisoners of war, and the eldest brother also recruited a lot of people to work in Silla and the Wa Kingdom. I also learned about the Thorn Shi of Guò Huzhou, Lord Huang, and Lord Bai of Heyang Prefecture to recruit many people from those two continents to work, and some of them were skilled, such as carpenters, lacquer workers, blacksmiths, stonemasons, and so on. Cui Jinlou also trained some people for me, but this was not enough, but these women were good needlework, and when I arrived in Nanyang, I would continue to train those women of the Japanese people, Silla and Goguryeo. So I'll have some doctors and scholars. Doctor Aunt Hu also prepared more than a dozen, all of whom have studied with her for a year or two, and they can still see simple minor diseases. It's just that there are fewer scholars. I want to open a school in Nanyang and teach the common people, the people of the Great Chu, Silla, Goguryeo, and Wa Kingdoms to learn Chinese characters and learn the culture of our Central Plains. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "You really think about it very comprehensively." ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Actually, I don't know what kind of person to prepare, or what my sister told me, so I have all the manpower on my side, and like my sister, there are no scholars." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Because those businessmen in Shanghai City and Xinguang City have more dealings with me, they all trust me, and many of them agree to go to Nanyang to do business together. Of course, in the early days, merchants didn't need much, and after a year, when the city was almost established and the land was produced, these merchants could play a role, so they needed to buy back the production and exchange it for money and resources, so as to further support the next step of development. Therefore, it is a poor scholar. By the way, my escort team, I am also ready, all of them were found for me by the master, there are probably more than 400 good players, and there are more men, these are all good martial arts, and in the future, you can select young people to be trained by them when they come to Nanyang, so it should not be a problem to organize an escort team of two or three thousand people. In fact, there is no shortage of manpower, even the clothes of these guards have been prepared by Cuijin Lou, as well as armor and weapons, and the black family of Yizhou Island has been notified to make zuò, it is estimated that when the people of us go to Yizhou Island to replenish halfway, we will be able to prepare them all. By the way, there are also those seeds, as well as farm tools, which are also prepared by the Hei family, speaking of which, the Hei family is really a good helper, as long as you give silver, you can prepare well. It saved a lot of effort. Also, in Luzon, the Black family has actually been developing for many years and has established three strongholds. Our four cities, not far from their strongholds, were able to get their help. (To be continued)
